Chapter 69: I Won’t Accept Your Apology

After glancing at Song Wenbin, she continued, “When the family arrived, not only did they not say thank you, but they also had a sour face and accused her of having ulterior motives, trying to climb the social ladder. Everyone in our ward couldn’t stand it. It’s too disrespectful.

The doctor instructed us to be extra vigilant at night. After finishing the last IV drip, it was already late. She had to check if the elder brother had a fever every now and then. This sister basically didn’t rest in the first half of the night.

This elder brother woke up in the middle of the night. After the doctor checked on him, she fed him dinner before resting. She didn’t even have a place to sleep, sitting on a stool or lying next to the bed all night.

In the morning, she made calls to notify the family and brought back food to feed him again. However, when the family arrived, they accused her of having ulterior motives. They only mentioned his name. What exactly did they think she wanted from him?”

Standing nearby, the middle-aged woman listened to her son and said, “My son is right. I heard that this family member is a teacher at No. 1 Middle School.” She shook her head, hmphed disdainfully, her expression filled with deep meaning.

This had really stirred up everyone’s anger. Song Wenbin’s face alternated between turning pale and red as he listened to what these people were saying. He realized he had likely made a mistake this time, so he apologized, “Comrade, I’m sorry.”

Meanwhile, Luo Qiao remained calm and said, “Let’s settle the medical expenses I paid first.”

The secretary behind the mayor then took out two hundred yuan and handed it over. Luo Qiao took out ten large bills from it, counted them in front of everyone, and said, “Exactly one hundred. I’ll take this then.”

She then collected the bamboo tube and spoon, saying, “Since this family member is worried that leaving these behind might be an excuse, I’ll take them back as well. Rest assured, I’m still young and not into heavy stuff.

In the future, when I enter university, there are so many outstanding opportunities waiting for me. Relax, put your mind at ease. I’ll reiterate that the reason I helped him stop bleeding, saved him, and stayed to take care of him was because I truly admire his selfless act of saving others at that critical moment.

Not all girls are as intolerable as you described. Also, I do not accept your apology. If an apology sufficed, what would we need laws for? Your conduct and your profession do not match.”

After Luo Qiao finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Indeed, not all situations can be resolved with an apology.

Luo Qiao asked the police officers, “Can I leave now?”

The female police officer said, “Yes, you can. We really appreciate your help and regret that you’ve had to endure so much trouble.”

Luo Qiao smiled and said, “It’s okay, I won’t punish myself with someone else’s mistakes. I’ll just let it go like a passing breeze.”

The female police officer said, “Let me escort you to the door.”

Luo Qiao brought her backpack over and said, “Since there’s nothing much going on here now, I’ll take my leave.”

After saying that, she nodded towards everyone.

As she walked by the elderly lady, she pulled out a handful of dates from her backpack and said, “Ma’am, thank you for speaking up for justice. I’m leaving now. I wish your son a speedy recovery.”

The elderly lady replied, “Just speaking the truth, it’s what anyone would do.”

Qiao Yu didn’t expect things to escalate like this, feeling extremely anxious in bed. What a mess this turned out to be. If he had known it would come to this, he wouldn’t have asked his cousin to come over.

He wanted to call out to stop her, but his mouth opened and closed without saying anything.

The mayor’s family exchanged a few words, left some things behind, wished him a good recovery, and promised to come visit him again when they had time.
